I love Yves Saint Laurent and Giambattista Valli and Givenchy and I get given quite a lot, but perhaps nothing is as wonderful as the white fake leather trench coat I got when I was 15.

Before I left Russia in 1999, I was living in a very poor factory town with my family and friends, and nothing was ever going to change.

I wear fragrance when I feel that just makeup is not enough. I'm not someone who uses it daily, but when I do, I feel so proud that I remembered and almost like I treated myself because I work really hard.

I believe in reincarnation of the soul.

Sometimes I just need to switch off.

When I really treat myself, I go to incredible Leonor Greyl in Paris for a head massage.

But when my grandmother saw me plucking [my eyebrows] she said: 'Don't. You will regret it. One day you will wake up with no eyebrows and think how stupid you were. Your eyebrows are the most beautiful thing about you.'
